Upon returning to the manor, Yuan Zhao excused himself by saying he was tired and went to rest. Yuan's eldest sister-in-law thought for a moment and quickly sent a letter to my deceased Yuan.

Yuan Gu was on duty today when he received a message from home and rushed back:

"Why are you back so early? Did someone bully Zhaozhao?"

Yuan Gu asked with a stern face.

Although many people dared not say anything about his sister's divorce, he knew that those people had their own thoughts.

They dared not say anything in front of the Yuan family, but they were afraid of giving Zhaozhao a hard time behind her back.

"It shouldn't be this one."

“When we left, Princess Chaoyang came to see us off in person. It seems that Zhaozhao and the princess get along well. The princess even said that she would come to the mansion in a few days.”

"However, Zhao Zhao is indeed acting strangely. I asked her, but she wouldn't say anything."

The elder sister-in-law knew that something must have happened at the Princess's residence, but Yuan Zhao didn't say anything.

Hearing his wife say this, Yuan Gu was still worried and said:

"I'll go take a look."

"Don't rush, let Zhaozhao rest for a while. There's something else I wanted to tell you when I called you back."

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law brought up Gu Qingchen's matter.

Yuan Gu raised an eyebrow after hearing this:

"really?"

Sister-in-law Yuan nodded:

“It’s absolutely true. Judging from Zhao Zhao’s appearance, she seemed very happy to hear that she had won first place in the imperial examination.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu's heart stirred, and he spoke:

"This matter is not urgent. Let me investigate Gu Qingchen's background first."

Moreover, he had one more thing he was most worried about: with that jinx Rong Ruo around, things might not go so smoothly.

Last time, all I wanted was for Zhao Zhao to see Zhou Lin, and this caused such a mess. If Rong Ruo finds out about today's events, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

He wasn't worried about himself, but he was worried about his wife, after all, that wicked woman was capable of anything.

Thinking of this, he spoke:

"Don't mention this to anyone. I know what I'm doing."

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law didn't understand her husband's worries; she couldn't quite grasp it, so Yuan Gu could only explain:

“Zhao Zhao just divorced her husband. If outsiders find out, it will cause trouble again.”

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law naturally understood this principle and quickly nodded.

"By the way, I have a few candidates here. Do you want to go back and discuss it with your mother?"

This was Yuan Zhao's suggestion that day, and Yuan Gu did indeed carry it out, and did so openly and honestly.

Sister-in-law Yuan glanced at her husband, noticing that his eyes were clear and showed no sign of embarrassment. Her smile deepened slightly.

"Okay, tell me about it."

After speaking with his wife, Yuan Gu went to Yuan Zhao's courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Yuan Zhao with his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

“Zhaozhao”.

Yuan Gu called out, and after waving away the servants, he said:

"What happened at the Princess's residence today?"

Yuan Zhao had no intention of hiding this from his elder brother, since it involved the Second Prince and perhaps many other people as well.

She glanced at her elder brother, and Yuan Gu said knowingly:

There's no one around.

Unless that person's martial arts skills are so strong that he cannot sense it.

Yuan Zhao knew that Rong Ruo's people must be there, but since Rong Ruo also knew about this, there was no point in hiding it. She directly told her what she had heard at the Princess's residence that day.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected his sister to be so unlucky, encountering such a thing on her trip to the Princess's residence.

Although Yuan Zhao went there to rest today without telling anyone, it was still possible to find out by investigating.

Having heard about this, the Second Prince naturally wouldn't let her off the hook.

He didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly said, "I will handle this matter. Don't leave the manor for the next few days. Stay here. Do you understand?"
